Year 8 Urban Landscape Painting Artist Statements
Title: Artist:
Urban Landscape Painting Ariela D
Artist Statement In this unit of work we investigated Urban Landscapes. We looked at artists such as Jeffrey Smart and explored compositions which reflected our own environments. I took a series of photographs of my own neighbourhood and that has inspired my painting. I have carefully considered the arrangement of the shapes on the canvas and used the painting process to build up layers of paint applying tone, texture and detail.

Artist Statement Investigating the artists Jeffrey Smart and Stephen Lowry, we explored the application of paint in an Urban Landscape style. My artwork is inspired by a photograph I took of a lattice tower and street scape. I considered the composition and arrangement of the elements on the canvas using tone and texture and perspective.

Title: Artist:
The blue fox Zoe F
Artist Statement I created this artwork by building up the layers of paint from a wash to details. I applied a variety of tone and considered the composition carefully for an aesthetically pleasing perspective. I took a photograph of the Queens esplanade to inspire my painting. I liked how it had a mix of natural and urban elements such as the water and pathway and the caravan in the foreground. Click here to watch the artist talk
